Kuizi brought a simple map, and he marked all the areas raided by the Japanese.
Sister Lin patted Kuizi on the shoulder and said, "Your information is very important. I have to thank you first. I won't be polite to you anymore. I have to send the information out immediately. You can go back by yourself and be careful."
Kuizi nodded, smiled at Xiao Wuzi, turned around and left.
Sister Lin said to Xiao Wuzi: "It's just right. Let's go together. I also have to go to the headquarters. Time is tight. Unfortunately, there is no horse."
Sister Lin told her team members something and asked them to disperse to various areas to report the news, while she herself took Xiao Wuzi and set off southward along the mountains.
The two of them walked all morning, and at noon they saw a large courtyard not far ahead. It's quite impressive, and there is a fort at the corner of the courtyard, which proves that this house is armed.
Sister Lin's face became relaxed when she saw this place. She told Xiao Wuzi: "I know this family, they are the security chief of this place, and they are very supportive of us. I will borrow two horses so that we can get to the headquarters quickly."
Xiaowuzi gave one of his box cannons to Sister Lin and asked him to wear it on his waist. This thing can act as a deterrent even if he doesn't use it. Even those who are not easy to talk will become more talkative when they see the gun.
Sister Lin knocked on the door, and someone inside opened the door a crack, looked at it, and then closed it. After a while, the door opened, and a fat man came out. He said to Sister Lin anxiously: "How dare you come here after what time?" Come? The Japanese are coming to kill them soon, so hurry up and go into the mountains."
Sister Lin said: "Mr. Huang, we are leaving soon. Aren't we going slowly? I want to borrow two horses from you. Thank you for your concern."
The fat old man was very straightforward in his work. He turned around and asked his family to bring two horses out, and then sent them away like a plague god.
Sister Lin actually knew how to do everything. She got on a horse and galloped away like Xiao Wuzi.
When night fell, they encountered a small river winding through the mountains. They stopped to drink and let the horses eat some grass.
He was also very hungry and hadn't eaten anything all day.
Xiaowuzi asked Sister Lin to look at the horses while he walked upstream along the river.
It was the fourth month of the lunar calendar, when the vegetation began to grow, but there was nothing to eat on the mountain.
Sister Lin led the horses to the river to drink water, and then led the two horses to a place where the grass was tender. The two horses ate, shaking their heads and snoring.
Sister Lin knew that Xiao Wuzi was looking for food, so she pulled some dry firewood by the river and lit up a bonfire.
After a while, Xiao Wuzi came back with a bird's nest, which contained five green and white wild duck eggs. Then he untied an unknown bird from his waist. It must not have been shot with a gun, because no gunshots were heard.
This kid is not too old and seems to be someone who often lives in the wild.
While the two were eating, Sister Lin asked Xiaowuzi, how was the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Forces? She also knew that the days of the Anti-Japanese War must be extremely difficult.
Xiao Wuzi told him some stories about the Anti-Japanese Alliance. He said that after Commander Yang and his companions died, the Anti-Japanese Alliance in Southern Manchuria was dispersed. Some of the original Beard Mountain Forest Team went back to the mountains to become beards, and some were simply killed. After surrendering, some of the resistance fighters retreated into Soviet Russia.
Sister Lin sighed and said: "I didn't go back two years ago because of illness. It turned out that I was on the list of people sent back to the Northeast by the organization. What are your plans for coming this time? Don't go back. I'm not fighting against the Japanese and the Japanese." ?”
Xiaowuzi said: "I came here to learn how the Eighth Route Army dealt with the Japanese. I learned that I will have to go back sooner or later. There are still people in my hometown who care about me."
For some reason, when he talked about the people he cared about, besides Lao Haishan and the others, there was also the shadow of Xiao Fengxian passing through his mind.
The two traveled overnight and finally arrived at Fuping County on the third day, which is the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army's Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Border Region.
Everything is different when we get here. Everywhere Xiaowuzi leads the horse feels new, and anti-Japanese slogans are posted on the walls. From time to time, Eighth Route Army soldiers in gray military uniforms would pass by on the street.
The place was a bustling scene.
Sister Lin led him into a courtyard in a familiar manner. The guard at the door obviously knew her and came over to take away their horses. Two soldiers came out and passed by them. They both saluted Sister Lin and shouted in unison. Call eldest sister.
Sister Lin smiled and asked, "Where is the chief?" They said they were having a meeting in the east room, so Sister Lin took the fifth child into a room and asked him to sit here to rest, and then went out in a hurry.
Xiao Wuzi had not been sitting for a while when a lean Eighth Route Army soldier wearing glasses came in. He shook Xiao Wuzi's hand and said, "Hello, Comrade Xiao Liu. My surname is Lu. I am from the Cadre Department. I am responsible for receiving members of the brother troops." "Yes. Can you explain the mission here in detail?" This old Lu spoke in Sichuan dialect, and Xiao Wuzi had to work hard to understand him.
As he spoke, he took a pen and notebook to record.
Xiao Wuzi took out the political commissar Wei's warrant and the detailed report written by Old Zhao from his saddle bag, and handed them all over.
After all the hard work, he finally handed over this expired information to his own people. Xiao Wuzi felt like crying.
A little soldier came in, put a bowl of boiled potatoes on the table, and turned around and went out.
Lao Lu took one and handed it to Xiao Wuzi, telling him to be polite and eat it. He also took one and peeled it off and ate it.
While eating, Xiaowuzi told Lao Lu about the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Forces, telling him in detail how Commander Yang, Political Commissar Wei and some anti-union leaders sacrificed their lives.
While he was talking, two people came in. The one in front of him looked like he was not an ordinary person. He didn't need to say anything. No matter where he stopped, people couldn't ignore him.
Xiaowuzi had only seen this kind of aura in Commander Yang.
When Lao Lu saw them, he stood up. The smiling man in front pressed his hand to let them continue.
But they found a stool and sat down, quietly listening to Xiao Wuzi's continued story.
When Xiao Wuzi talked about rescuing Zhang Guorui, Er Niu and others in the mine, the chief turned back and looked at the other chief and nodded.
After a while, Sister Lin came back and sat nearby to listen.
It seemed that Xiao Wuzi hadn't spoken like this for a long time, and his mouth was parched after talking. Sister Lin poured him a bowl of water with a smile and asked him to drink some water before talking.
After Xiao Wuzi finished speaking, Lao Lu also wrote several articles. Sister Lin came over and said to Xiao Wuzi: "This is Commander-in-Chief Nie, the highest official in our Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei region. Don't you just want to meet the highest official?"
Xiao Wuzi stood at attention. Although he was wearing casual clothes, he still gave a serious military salute and shouted: "Hello Commander-in-Chief, Liu Zhenwu, a soldier of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Forces, reports to you."
The Commander-in-Chief returned the gift, patted Xiao Wuzi on the shoulder and said, "You are all heroes and meritorious service to all of us Chinese people." Boss Nie also spoke with a Sichuan accent, but he spoke much more clearly than Lao Lu. The commander-in-chief turned to the leader and said, "Old Lin, have a good talk with your fellow villager and keep this little hero here."
That old Lin also stood at attention and said yes. Then the commander-in-chief went out with his hands behind his back under the admiring eyes of Xiao Wuzi.
As soon as Xiao Wuzi saw the appearance of Old Lin and Sister Lin, he knew that they were brothers and sisters, because they looked the same, with thick eyebrows and big eyes.
Chief Lao Lin was the political commissar of the Central Hebei Military Region and was here for the meeting. It happened that his sister came to the headquarters to deliver information, otherwise the brother and sister would not have seen each other for a year.
Lao Lu arranged a place for Xiao Wuzi to live and gave him a brand new gray Eighth Route Army uniform. He found him according to Xiao Wuzi's figure because Xiao Wuzi was very tall.
Xiaowuzi took off his ragged cotton-padded jacket that was riddled with holes, put on the white shirt that Sister Lin had prepared for him, and put on his military uniform.
This was the first time that he officially put on his own military uniform, and he was so excited that he couldn't even walk in the aisle.
Yesterday, Xiaowuzi told political commissar Lao Lin the story of Erniu Jinliang and others. Lao Lin was obviously very interested and said to him: "I know you want these buddies to be transferred over to work with you, but revolutionary work requires Let’s take a look at the actual situation and leave it to me, I will deal with it.”
Before Xiao Wuzi got used to his new military uniform, he received the first order from Lao Lu to study at the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei branch of the Anti-Japanese War.
The biggest advantage of Xiaowuzi is that he is eager to learn, and he is also smart. He can learn everything quickly. When he heard that going to school, it was exactly what he had dreamed of when he was a child!
As a result, Xiao Wuzi, the little bandit in the mountains, lived a regular study life for the first time.
Just a month after he was eager to learn new knowledge, two new students came to the school, a boy and a girl.
The man is Jin Liang, his good friend who has always been in his heart, and the woman is Liu Xia.
It turned out that not long after Jin Liang was hospitalized, someone from his family really came, and there was also an uninvited guest.
When Jin Liang saw his former father-in-law, Boss Liu, he was completely confused.
"Yue...Uncle Liu, why are you here?"
Boss Liu reached out and held Jin Liang down as he was about to sit up, but his eyes glanced at the beautiful girl aside.
Liu Xia looked up and saw that this person looked familiar. She seemed to have seen him somewhere, but she couldn't remember where.
But the loving eyes made Liu Xia a little nervous.
Boss Liu said: "I have nothing to do, I just came to see you. Your parents asked me to take you back. You won't disobey your father-in-law, right?"
When Liu Xia heard what he said about her father-in-law, she realized who this man was. He was the father of Brother Jin's fiancée.
Jin Liang was so smart. He would not twist things in front of his father-in-law, but just nodded and agreed to him.
Boss Liu turned around and asked Liu Xia: "Is your mother okay? Is she still burning incense and worshiping Buddha every day?"
Liu Xia was confused and asked: "How do you know?"
Boss Liu let out a long sigh and said, "I am your father, and I gave you your name."
